Not good on it's own

Comments about MaryJanesFarm Organic Black Beans and Rice - Single Serving:

This might be alright in a wrap, but I'd avoid it on it's own. Doesn't have much taste and very little rice, you get about 90% beans and 10% everything else. Also not much flavour, didn't taste bad but it deffinately wasn't enjoyable.

Comments about MaryJanesFarm Organic Black Beans and Rice - Single Serving:

Mmm! I was so looking forward to this backpack meal because it sounded so good. I planned to eat it in tortilla wraps that I brought along.

Unfortunately I sufferred a brief and comical delusion of reality where 1 cup = 500ml (it's 250ml).

Friend: Are you sure you put the right amount in?
Me: YES. One cup- 400ml, plus another 100ml- Ah SHOOT.

BUT- it still looked good! Smelled good... so I took a spoonful and hey! Good soup!! Makes me think the 'Velvet Bean Soup' by this brand is also likely good. I was still remiss for not having it in tortillas- but it was gooooooood nonetheless!

As soup- good for one. Might have been okay for two if in wraps. But generally, one person.

Comments about MaryJanesFarm Organic Black Beans and Rice - Single Serving:

I just got back from a trip to the Olympic Coast. While I was there I tried out the black beans and rice. Without a doubt it was delicious. The consistency is a little pasty but that doesn't really influence the flavor.
It was quick to prepare and even though I couldn't quite get my water to boil (the last time I hike without a camp stove) it still cooked through. I'll buy it again.

I love black beans but this one was like a heavy tasteless paste. Might be OK if you had burrito shells, cheese and salsa but not alone.

Comments about MaryJanesFarm Organic Black Beans and Rice - Single Serving:

We tried this one out on a weekend trip. We though it was fantastic. Tortillas really make this a meal. Otherwise, it is still really good, but a bit pasty. Some of the best back packing food I have had.

This is a hardy meal but best if you take some tortilla (as they suggest) to put the beans in - otherwise it's a bit much. Really good and tasty.

Comments about MaryJanesFarm Organic Black Beans and Rice - Single Serving:

Tried the other Mary Jane Farm organic foods with some success, but this product was truly awful. If you ate paste in the first grade then you have a basic understanding of the consistency, and flavor of the beans and rice dish.

While as easy to prepare and lightweight as other products in the line, I can't recommend this for its lack of flavor, and for the fact that both myself and my hiking partner had uncomfortable stomach reactions after eating it.

It'll stick to your ribs, and whatever else it happens to touch on its way through your system.

Comments about MaryJanesFarm Organic Black Beans and Rice - Single Serving:

A tasty and hearty vegetarian meal. A good Southwestern beans and rice dish that's well seasoned with just a little heat. Some added Tabasco sauce is needed for those who like it hotter. It also has a good mix of protein, fat, complex carbs and minerals.
